Concord - robots with pronouns

[BScCollateral]

I'm kind of curious on what they found wrong with The Last Jedi. Aside from the space admiral doing nothing while falling for the obvious "your mom" prank. The dreadnought captain who also did nothing while that shit was happening. Placing most of the command staff in one place. The fighter ace going rogue, at least twice.

Admiral Holdo refused to share her plans with her subordinates, setting up a situation where they would assume she was incompetent. She caused a mutiny because she presumed on respect she never earned.

Also the first order don’t destroy the start and ends of the convoy which is convoy attack 101.

Or just contact the fleet and arrange for more of your ships to position themselves in front of the rebel convoy, or do the even more sensible thing and send out your TIE Bombers to bomb the shit out of the it.

They do remember TIE Bombers exist, right?

Hell, they could have probably just pummelled the ship into submission with repeated waves of TIE Fighters.

That only applies to land vehicles, iirc. In traditional naval warfare, it's kind of situational. Granted, destroying the lead ship would be a good idea in space because of debris and shit.

Or just contact the fleet and arrange for more of your ships to position themselves in front of the rebel convoy,

Because one's hubris is magnificent thing to watch

I'm pretty sure that most of the film directors have forgotten that those were actually an thing. Plus, an entire wing of them could just eat through a capital ship.

Hell, they could have probably just pummelled the ship into submission with repeated waves of TIE Fighters.

For once, the edgy manchild had an good idea and wiped most of the fleet's fighters when he zoomed through the hanger. But the rebel genocide didn't happen because of plot stupidity

Admiral Holdo refused to share her plans with her subordinates, setting up a situation where they would assume she was incompetent.

Well, it's not like her plan involved any sensitive information aside from that abandoned base.

 

[p1138]

Well, it's not like her plan involved any sensitive information aside from that abandoned base.

Hence the problem with being clearly incompetent leadership. Even if the abandoned base were a secret, the first order were just following them there anyway. Had she actually explained what her plan was, instead of having a mutiny she could have had multiple ship crews on board with creating a debris field as you mentioned scuttling the slower or out of fuel ships to at least attempt to delay the First Order.

Instead we see a dumb bitch, and the audience as outside observers who could be privy to knowledge that the crews don't have if she had shared whatever her plan was with the command staff of the other ships, but we don't even get that. Instead it's just the admiral insulting everyone.

Then on top of that, she decides to pilot a ship as a missile into the dreadnaught, which could have been done with a fucking astromech, but also invalidates blowing up two deathstars because it shows that they could have used swarms of ships flown by astromechs while minimizing risk to life in the previous movies. It gets even worse when you realize that now there's a huge debris field of bullshit and radiation flying across the galaxy as a shotgun blast of crap fucking things up for years/decades to come with seemingly no regard for the direction it was done in when they could have at least baited the First Order into traveling perpendicular to the galactic plane to minimize the aftermath... which is something she could have been advised about if she hadn't kept her stupid "plan" as a secret.

Now that I've thought about it, this would, at most by them a few minutes. And speaking of which; is there any specific reason why their evacuation fleet just running on fumes. I'd see if the First Order just retaliated immediately after the destruction of Starkiller Base. It's just feels pretty weird unless they've warped halfway across the galaxy m

Honestly, those fuckers might have an failsafe that's built into just to prevent some really horrific accidents. But it's been shown that you can reprogram droids, so who cares?

but also invalidates blowing up two deathstars because it shows that they could have used swarms of ships flown by astromechs while minimizing risk to life in the previous movies.

Well, the rebels did have an fleet of those unarmed cargo transports. But it's kind of implied that they didn't have the means to just replace most of them. Come to think of it, this is actually the basis for an hilarious level in a old video game

But with the way things are, this shit isn't canon.

And this is why she's an Vice Admiral instead of the slightly more prestigious title that Ackbar had. In fact, I'm pretty sure that this is why he was killed off

I don't recall them trying to explain why they were out of gas. And stupidly they should have known they were going to run out of gas long before they did. At which point, it was one fucking dreadnought(which did have some ISD class ships docked on it and with it but still) space travel is 3d, just fucking split up? Instead she leads the fleet running through a house like a dumb bimbo in a slasher movie.

Honestly, those fuckers might have an failsafe that's built into just to prevent some really horrific accidents. But it's been shown that you can reprogram droids, so who cares?

The droids should and of course they're reprogrammable, but the computer in a fucking capital ship should have that as well and she certainly wouldn't have re-programmed that by herself.

Well, the rebels did have an fleet of those unarmed cargo transports. But it's kind of implied that they didn't have the means to just replace most of them. Come to think of it, this is actually the basis for an hilarious level in a old video game

Didn't need cargo vessels or larger for that. A swarm of unmanned fighters could have gotten the job done hitting light speed within range of either deathstar. It wouldn't even take a large swarm.

Nah, they tried to give her a heroic ending and just didn't know what the fuck they were doing. Killing her off because she was an unlikable cunt would imply far more thought into the scripts of those movies than Rian Johnson or anyone else put into the shit.

Remember, this is the same movie where they introduced the asian super engineer hacker lady, who somehow couldn't do anything on her own prompting an entirely separate adventure to go find a super duper hacker on gamba-planet to get them onto the First Order ship. When anyone with a real functioning brain would have had Rose(I think that was her name?) use her engineering skill along with Finn's knowledge of First Order shit to just do it themselves anyway and actually had a female character with a useful contribution to the events of the story(which makes the entire thing even dumber if you consider that). Instead Rose is reduced to "we have to go find a man who is better than I am" and then at the end teaching Finn about "love" or whatever the fuck.

The really hilarious part is that Disney had to subsequently asspull their way out of the fire when they realized they had introduced relativistic weapons to Star Wars, and people were starting to ask why the Empire was bothering with contraptions like the Death Star when they could have just rammed a fighter going lightspeed into a planet and called it a day.

The asspull was that what Admiral Karen did was a one-in-a-million Hail Mary, so her whole master plan hinged on pure luck and nothing else, making her look even more retarded and incompetent.

nah, it's funnier to see the "legacy" of Concord be reduced to soy wars sperging

It gets even dumber than that. The simple fact is that if the first order had the resources to hollow out Ilum into starkiller base, which even the fucking empire barely had the resources to make 2 deathstars in the first place, just use a fucking mass driver. Adding hard scifi elements to what is basically a space fantasy setting is fucking stupid even with the "one in a million" shot. Just the same as adding "fuel" being a factor for starships when no one cared before about their power generation just added nothing interesting and a whole lot of economic stupidity.

What are we gonna do, disrupt discussion about Concord? lol

 

[FedPostalService]

I might play some Battlefront II, which unlike Concord still has servers running.

 

[AnOminous]

The only way a modern Western game development studio can function to any degree is if they all pretend everything is going fine and they validate everyone's retarded ideas.

I think you mean the only way they can crash and burn and die. Because people don't buy this shit.

It's not hard to stay in business. Just make shit people want to buy. Don't try to sell a shit sandwich for $100.

 

[regalterry]

I meant in the sense the studio can function well enough to shit out a product, regardless of quality, instead of the whole organization descending into hysterics and infantile tantrums.

It's not hard to stay in business. Just make shit people want to buy. Don't try to sell a shit sandwich for $100.

And yet almost all Western developers are not only unable to do this, but actively refuse to do so.

They actively hate their costumers and would rather spite and antagonize them than keep their job.

Or that they genuinely believe that toxic positivity routine will work out for them and it subsequently falls apart or just looks retarded

Speaking of which, I took a look at our Star Wars thread and...

No, they still want to keep their job. Hence the unionization and complaining online or even protesting. The fucking MIndseye devs went online crying about union shit and how they were getting fired without reasons as if the company with no funding and revenue is supposed to magically keep them employed just because they wish it to be so. Same with all of the game journos laid off from the websites that got bought out or shut down. "woe is me, what happened? my job went away, it's the evil capitalism and online bigotchuds" when the business hasn't turned a profit in years.

Even looping this back to Concord. You had devs surprised they were getting let go, after the game had already set a record of being shut down and refunded within a couple of weeks because it did worse than ET for the Atari 2600 with hundreds of millions of dollars flushed down the toilet, after doing nothing at work for over a month and being paid for it.

Never have creatives been so pathetic as to hurl slurs like this mindlessly whenever they're criticized for their shitty products. Do a better job, cunt. If your product didn't suck shit, people wouldn't be dissing it.

 

[Cactuar King]

Wing nothing, that stupid movie showed that a flight of TIEs could chew through their flagship like it was tissue paper.

it's easier to just hurl slurs.

 

[Oliver Onions]

Do a better job, cunt. If your product didn't suck shit, people wouldn't be dissing it.

There will always be people shitting on whatever you do, but if you deliver a good product it will do well regardless.

That's the current cope with the Deus Ex Remaster getting put on indefinite hiatus: people actually believe the Internet bullied the studio into cancelling the project, as if they could give a shit what a handful of nerds online think. Happened with Netflix's Cowboy Bebop adaptation too.
